The truth is that neither FP or OOP is the silver bullet. Both have good techniques, that shine for certain types of problems. The more important thing is how you do it, how good you are at it. It's the same thing with e.g. Agile, some people make a mess of anything including agile, some people do it well, and the vast majority of average people get average results with Agile. So don't waste time getting stuck on one particular school of evangelism, try a range of techniques and get good enough at all so you can match the ideal technique to the specific solution you're creating.
